Abstract

The qualitative study investigated the digital media impact on language learning, focusing on overcoming anxiety, enhancing linguistic elements, and fostering motivation for developing speaking skills among four English as foreign language (EFL) learners at an Islamic University in Malang, Indonesia. Through the use of observations and in-depth interviews, the study found that learners utilized various digital media such as storytelling, movies, variety shows, and song videos to aid their speaking learning process. The findings indicated that digital media played a significant role in helping learners overcome language anxiety by providing a platform for practice without direct peer interaction, thereby reducing feelings of fear and shyness. Additionally, digital media usage contributed to linguistic element enhancement, including vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and speaking fluency. Moreover, learners’ motivation for developing speaking skills was positively influenced by the enjoyment derived from using digital media which increased their willingness to practice speaking. The study underscores the importance of integrating digital media into EFL speaking instruction due to its potential to address language anxiety, improve linguistic elements, and foster motivation for speaking ability development. By leveraging digital media tools effectively, educators can create engaging and supportive learning milieus that provide to the diverse needs of language learners, eventually enhancing learners’ speaking skills.

Abstract

The interplay between digital interactions and mental health among working adults is intensifying, driven by the pervasiveness of social media and its potential effects on psychological wellness. This research utilizes a socio-cognitive approach to explore how perceived social support (PSS), work mattering, and work self-efficacy (WSE) mediated by new media literacy (NML) influence general mental health (GMH) in a digital era. Through extensive empirical testing, the study reveals that high levels of NML can directly enhance the positive effects of PSS on GMH, bypassing the need for intermediary states like mattering and self-efficacy. This highlights the critical role of digital skills in moderating social support mechanisms and mental health, suggesting that integrating digital literacy into mental health strategies could be vital for improving workplace well-being in contemporary digitally-focused environments.

Abstract

This study examined the dynamic between perceived authoritarian parenting style (PAPS), and subjective wellbeing (SWB) among purposively recruited 423 college students in China. Expectancy value beliefs (EVB), fear of failure (FOF), and competitiveness were taken as mediators. The data were analyzed using Bootstrap method of 5000 sample and 95% confidence interval. The results revealed a significant negative total effect of PAPS on SWB. Additionally, two indirect paths were found to be significant: the mediation of FOF (Path 2) and the serial mediation of FOF and competitiveness (Path 6). These findings suggest that the perception of authoritarian parenting style is a negative predictor of students' happiness, and that FOF and competitiveness played important mediating roles in this relationship. These findings have important implications for educators, parents, and policymakers who aim to promote positive academic and personal outcomes for college students. The results suggest the need for interventions that address the negative impact of PAPS on students' wellbeing, and the importance of fostering positive beliefs about the value of education and academic achievement, as well as reducing FOF and promoting healthy competition.

Abstract

The educational resilience of students in rural madrasahs, particularly within vulnerable socio-economic contexts, is a strategic concern that requires a collaborative and value-driven framework. This study addresses the need for a contextual model that integrates Islamic values to support student development. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to explore the dynamics of an educational partnership among families, schools, psychosocial support systems, and communities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation involving key stakeholders, including guidance and counseling (BK) teachers, madrasah principals, parents, students, and community leaders at MAS Nurul Islam Bades Pasirian, Lumajang. Findings reveal that madrasahs serve as socio-religious mediators, aligning the roles of schools, families, and communities through Islamic values such as amanah (trustworthiness), justice, and deliberation. BK teachers provide counseling grounded in empathy, patience, and sincerity, while community support is reflected in the distribution of zakat, infak, and various social solidarity programs. The proposed Family–School–Psychosocial–Community (FSPC) model fosters student resilience by embedding a participatory and transcendental approach into educational practices. The FSPC model proves structurally and spiritually effective in enhancing students’ educational resilience. It underscores the importance of incorporating Islamic values into madrasah partnership policies and calls for strengthening BK teachers’ capacity through training rooted in Islamic spirituality.
